Margaret "Marg" McPherson

Marg was born on August 18, 1965 in Mount Carmel, Newfoundland to the late Francis and Veronica Power. As a young woman she moved to the Toronto area, she moved to Fort Frances to be closer to her sister Sarah and her family. Here she met the love of her life, Michael. They were married on May 1, 1998. Later that year they were blessed with their daughter Yvonne. Yvonne meant the world to Marg, her arrival made her life complete. Marg loved to visit and chat with people, she waitressed for years at the Harbourage and enjoyed meeting all of her customers. She was the life of the party; she loved to go to the Legion to play darts and dance. In 2006 Marg was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome; this rare disease turned her world upside down, taking her away from the people and activities she loved.
